This poem was actually inspired by culture. I'm a musician, and so I am very interested in the way music impacts culture, and how musicians, both Christian and non-Christian, have an enormous impact on the current generation. There's a band called Maroon 5, that actually writes very good music (in a musical sense), but whos lyrics are not exactly Biblical (lol, who knew??). This poem was inspired by one of their songs. (If you can tell me which one, brownie points! Not. Don't want people out there intentionally listening to secular music because I told them so, lol). Anyways, this poem is a response to that song along with some of T. Swift's music. I beleive that it is an important part of our job as Christian artists in this rising generation to combat falsehood through art. So this poem was inspired by an effort to do that, in a small way.
